Racy Rielle Hunter pictures: Taking it too far with child in tow?

GQ MagazineRielle Hunter, John Edwards' former mistress, poses with her toddler daughter. Who thinks this is inappropriate?Rielle Hunter, former mistress and mother of Sen. John Edwards' young daughter is turning heads this week with her racy photos and sensational interview published in this months' edition of GQ magazine.

Hunter (who now claims to be 'repulsed' by the photographs in question), was featured in a variety of suggestive poses, some of which included her young daughter in tow.

Take for example this picture below, featuring Reille Hunter in a half-top, seductively sporting what moms online are calling the "come and get me pose" while her daughter innocently sleeps on.

The next bizarre and oddly inappropriate photo shows Rielle wearing an over sized man's shirt, no pants and pearls while posing seductively next to none other than a giant Dora the Explorer doll. Nothing says sexy like Dora.

And of course there are a handful of other pictures like this one below where Hunter tries to show the world exactly why she's worth throwing away a presidential bid and wrecking a home over.

But don't call Reille Hunter a home wrecker just yet. In fact, Hunter tells GQ she is by definition NOT a home wrecker because:

“He [John] doesn’t lie to me…and well, first of all, infidelity doesn’t happen in healthy marriages. The break in the marriage happens before the infidelity. And that break happened, you know, two and a half decades before I got there. So the home was wrecked already. I was not the Home Wrecker.”

Alrighty then.

And while Hunter does not regret breaking up John Edward's marriage, she does now regret posing for the racy spread. In fact, when Barbara Walters called her to get the scoop, she claimed the pictures were "repulsive" and that she "cried for two hours" after they went public.

Walters said further on The View, "When I asked if that was the case, why did she pose the way she did, she said she trusted Mark Seliger, whom she said is a brilliant photographer, and quote, 'I went with the flow.' "

I certainly think she did more than "go with the flow" but I'm curious to hear what readers think about all this?

Did she go too far trying to pose seductively with her daughter on the bed? Can you really do an entire photo shoot in your panties and claim you didn't think the pictures would turn out so "sexy"? How about her thoughts on wrecking the marriage? Leave your thoughts and more below.
